'Serena, Felix now part of an old girls network'

Saturday, 15 October 2022



NEW YORK, Oct 14 (Reuters): Some of the biggest names in women's sport bowed out of competition in 2022 but tennis icon Billie Jean King expects the likes of Serena Williams and Allyson Felix to continue making headlines as part of a flourishing "old girls network".
Williams, who bid an emotional goodbye to tennis at the US Open last month, and seven-times Olympic gold medalist Felix both had businesses up and running before calling time on their careers.
Other elite female athletes, such as four-time WNBA champion Sue Bird and three-times Olympic ice hockey medalist Kendall Coyne Schofield, have leveraged their experience in front offices of professional sport.
